In the 1980s, when the American movie "Break Dance" was released in my country, it had a huge impact on our adolescent children. It turns out that dancing can be so beautiful and so fun! Back then, the school only organized group dances when there was a party. The shy boys and girls were embarrassed to hold each other's hands. When American street dance culture first appeared before our eyes, we were really deeply shocked.
Among the trio in the movie, I like to watch "Motor" dancing the most. This thin black boy dances neatly and neatly, especially the solo dance with a broom as a prop is really amazing. In addition, the scene of the trio of "Tornado Motor Talented Girls" playing against another group at a party of hip-hop masters is also quite wonderful. At the last climax of the film, when the trio completely conquered a group of old-fashioned dance competition judges with a novel and dynamic dance, even we were moved with emotion.
I remember that it was the first time I watched the film on TV. Many boys, including me, were fascinated by break dancing. At that time, there was no video recorder at home at that time, so I looked forward to more break dancing on TV. Later, when the Internet age arrived, I finally found its high-definition version and quickly downloaded the collection. Although it has been so many years, now I sometimes revisit those classic clips, which I will never tire of.
It’s not enough just to watch. When we were students, we also learned breakdancing along with the movies. Apart from too much scrolling, we couldn’t learn anything, such as twisting arms, space walks, and wiping mirrors. These simple dance moves can also be learned. It has to look so good that even now it can take two steps.
In the years that followed, I often watched TV shows of street dance competitions. Whether it was hiphop, mechanical dance, or other street dance, I could vaguely see the shadow of breakdancing that year. A few days ago, I heard that the 2024 Paris Olympics will include breakdancing as an official event, which aroused my great interest. I am really yearning and looking forward to the grand occasion that breakdancing masters from all over the world will gather in Paris three years later!
